Horror Book Reviews
Book Review: Madness from the Sea (Jonathon T. Cross)
Madness from the Sea is breathless, energetic from the word go and filled with the kind of vibrancy that allows the imagination to run wild.
Book Review: Blood Cypress by Elizabeth Broadbent
Blood Cypress is a classy Southern gothic novella dealing in small town prejudice, familial complexity and the suffocating swampland that surrounds the town.
Book Review: Behind the Shadows by Ray Van Horn, Jr
Ray Van Horn, Jr.’s new horror collection, Behind the Shadows brings a bit of Stephen King, EC horror comics, Saturday night ghost hosts, Bram Stoker, The Twilight Zone, ’80s splatter films and chucks them into the meat grinder of Van Horn’s 10 tales of terror with some contemporary twists
Horror Book Review: Grisly Deeds 2 (Tommy Ellis/Margot Ellis)
Just like its predecessor, Grisly Deeds 2 is an anthology but with a few less tales. While this does mean the gruesome fun ends far sooner than most would want, it doesn’t mean this second book is lacking in horror detail. Nor does it lack in dark humour or creepiness.
Horror Book Review: Happy Bunny and Other Mischiefs (Rebecca Gransden)
From writer Rebecca Gransden comes Happy Bunny and Other Mischiefs. A collection of tales that range in style and tone. Some are wildly fantastical, while others are rooted in more tangible horrors. What each has in common though is the feelings of dread, revulsion, despair, and delight they evoke in the reader’s mind.
Horror Book Review: Blood Night by Jonathan Daniel
